Q. My Bob randomly shuts off. Why?One of the features of the TV Timer Bob is to detect when the TV or Video Game console is turned off. This prevents the child's time from being deducted even when the TV is turned off. Some TVs don't draw enough power to tell the Bob to stay on. The Bob thinks the TV was turned off and so it shuts itself down.

There is a way to fix this problem for most Bob1 units. Please contact us for support instructions.
